Most of you will remember from your childhood playing a game called ‘Hide & Seek.’ It’s still a popular game enjoyed by children today. As I recall the object of the game was to successfully hide so that the ‘seeker’ could not find you. The Seeker would count off some number and then say, ‘Ready, or not, here I come.’
There was always someone who couldn’t find a place to hide, and they would immediately be caught. Others did not choose a good place to hide and would be caught in just a few minutes. Then there were those the Seeker never found and eventually he would have to end the game by yelling, ‘Olly Olly Oxen Free,’ (or at least that’s what I think they said.) Everybody who hadn’t been found would then come out.
I see an analogy in Hide & Seek and in the second coming of Christ. He’s already warned us many times in the Bible that we should be ready for His coming, because ‘Ready or not,’ He’s coming. We must successfully hide in order to be ready at His coming. Some will think they are well hidden in their Christian parents or their works or in some false cult.
Gal. 3:2 tells us that the best place for us to be hiding is “in Christ in God.” “The trumpet of God will sound and the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout.” (I Thess. 4:18) Then the game will be over. Are you ready?
